I've been looking around with no luck. I want to run a 450/600 dual rate setup on my truck. I'd like for it to be an 8" tender over a 12" spring, but I am having trouble finding an 8" length 450 or 500 lb spring rate with a 3" in. inner diameter for 2.5 coilover shocks. Is anyone else running spring rates similar to this? What size springs are you running? Can I go with a 5"...

I am considering converting to 18" triple rate coilovers in the front end of my 73. It does have a Windsor and a winch and plenty of tubing. Any idea what main spring and tender spring rates would work best? The helper spring is 5" and has a rate of 20lbs/inch. Thanks, David

Remove all Advertisements Hi, I just got a spare fork from a 07rm125 to work on and was wondering what is the stock pressure spring rate (ICS). I heard suzuki went from 1.5 to 1.9 with the RM250 in 2007 but I' not sure if the 125 stayed with the 1.5. Thanks!!

Hey Socalmoto what spring rate are you guys running on your tacoma? With my set up my 500lb tender spring is always compressed and feels a bit stiff and bouncy at times. I was gonna try some different set ups to see if I can make it any better.
